Franchise history

The team was founded as the Regina Rugby Club in 1910. They changed their name to the Regina Roughriders in 1924 and officially to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in 1948, the same year the team changed their team colours from red and black to green and white. The formation of what became the CFL brought them into the same league as the similarly named, but differently spelled, Ottawa Rough Riders. The Ottawa Rough Riders were a Canadian Football League team based in Ottawa Ontario, founded in 1876 The Ottawa team was named for the log rollers of the region's rivers. The presence of two teams whose names were pronounced the same in one league came about only when two leagues merged, and the teams were reluctant to change (and allowed to keep) their established nicknames.

Tragedy

The Roughriders' darkest day came in 1956 when four members of the team were killed in a plane crash while returning from the CFL All-Star game in Vancouver. Vancouver (vænˈkuːvɚ is a coastal Gordon Sturtridge, Mel Beckett, Ray Syrnyk, and Mario DeMarco were killed when Flight 810 crashed into Slesse Mountain near Chilliwack, British Columbia.

Grey Cup championships

The franchise has won three Grey Cup championships; a 29–14 victory over the now-defunct Ottawa Rough Riders in 1966, a 43–40 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 1989 and also a 23–19 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2007.

Four times, the Roughriders and (Ottawa) Rough Riders met in Grey Cup finals, prompting joking predictions from sportswriters that 'the riders' would win it all. Led by Hall of Fame quarterback Ron Lancaster, a string of 11 straight appearances in the Western finals 1966–76 remains a CFL record. Ronald "Ron" Lancaster ( October 14, 1938 &ndash September 18, 2008) was one of the pre-eminent quarterbacks of the Canadian Football The Roughriders also posted the best regular season record in all of pro football over that time period.

2007 season

In 2007 the Riders jumped out to a 7–2 start, their best since 1976. A notable victory was a last-minute victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the annual Labour Day Classic. The Labour Day Classic is a particular week of the Canadian Football League schedule that is played over the Labour Day weekend In this game for the first time the Riders wore retro uniforms and helmets harkening back to their glory days. This delighted Rider fans, who bought them up and sold them out within days. The 2007 season brought along with it the Roughriders' first home playoff game since 1988, which was played at Mosaic Stadium on November 11 against the Calgary Stampeders. Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field is a sports Stadium located in Regina Saskatchewan which is used primarily to play Canadian football. The Calgary Stampeders are a Canadian Football League team based in Calgary Alberta. The Riders once again wore their popular retro uniforms and took a close victory against Calgary 26–24. The win against Calgary also gave Saskatchewan their first home playoff win since 1976. This was followed up on November 18 by a 26–17 win at BC Place over the BC Lions in the West Division final, to give the Roughriders a berth in their first Grey Cup final since 1997. The Grey Cup (in Coupe Grey is both the name of the championship of the Canadian Football League (CFL and the name of the trophy awarded to the victorious team On November 25, 2007, the Riders played the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 95th Grey Cup.

2008 season

A month and a half after capturing the 2007 Grey Cup, Kent Austin stepped down as head coach to become the offensive co-ordinator at Ole Miss. Grey Cup Festivities The Grey Cup festivities began with a four-day festival that had over 50 events at several venues in downtown Toronto including the Metro Toronto Convention The University of Mississippi, also known as Ole Miss, is a public, coeducational Research University located in Oxford In accepting this position in the NCAA, Austin turned down a very lucrative contract that the Riders had offered. On February 6, 2008 Eric Tillman announced that the new head coach would be Ken Miller. Miller was formerly an offensive coordinator under Austin.

On April 5, 2008 a report was released saying that the Roughriders set a new record for earnings in a single season. In the 2007 year the Roughriders generated $22,950,489 in revenue, with a profit of $1,737,377. These earnings were due in part to the championship season the Roughriders sported, which included 8 home game sellouts and their first home playoff game in 19 years.

Mascots

The Roughriders have had various mascots over the years. During the 1980s, an unofficial mascot for the Roughriders was a man known as "The Flame. Each time the Roughriders scored, a 12-to-15-foot flame would shoot up from his helmet, at a game against the rival Winnipeg Blue Bombers he accidentally burned a Blue Bomber fan and has since been permanently banned from the Winnipeg Stadium. The current official Rider mascot is Gainer the Gopher. Gainer the Gopher is the Mascot of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, a Canadian Football League team
